Renzo Cipolla renzocipolla25c2bf — It has been suggested that the final chapter of The Sun Also Rises is unnecessary, as the conflicts of its major characters were for the most part resolved by the end of Book II. But most novels feature some sort of denouement (literally, "unraveling"), a dramatization, by the author, of the ways in which the world has been changed by the action of the book

Miroslava Todorova _ira_od — anthology of essays upon sexuality in grahpic design. range from informative, academic, critical, to locker room talk. a decent mix of styles and always interesting. but what's w/ the skateboard culture? who cares if some asshole middleclass wannabe poverty stricken 14 year old douche bag thinks girls can't skate?

Giuseppe Bussolari giuseppebussolari — I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. It's still an honest review, but the FTC wanted you to know... ---------------- This book seemed to me like "Gnosticism for Dummies" wrapped up in a thin candy Scooby-Doo shell (the only thing missing was the crazy old man who dressed up like a ghost/alien/monster). I was excited to receive the book when I saw it on first reads--it sounded like an adventure novel along the same lines as the DaVinci code. My first hint that it was not the case was the classification on the back cover: Spirituality/Fiction. Spirituality? Not mystery, thriller or adventure? Hmmm. Nonetheless, I dove in, hoping for the best. The book felt like it had been written by a high school student, both in style and story. The characters were flat and insipid. The entire book was merely a platform to explain Gnostic ideas, with the "adventure" and "detective work" being merely a secondary concern (if that). I also found it surprising that two of the main characters were so quick to accept ideas shared with them by two professors--in the course of two days, they essentially drop their Catholic upbringings and accept the Gnostic ideas they are told. No heavy internal wrestlings? Not much of a spiritual struggle, it seemed. Now for the good (because there was some). I applaud Mr. Davila for having written a book about something that he obviously believes and wants to share with others. Second, I felt like he provided a (mostly) realistic view of the middle east. I appreciated being able to "see" Jerusalem and Palestine and the description of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank. It's stuff that I hear about on the news, but don't know what it looks like. Tariq ends up being the most interesting and deepest character of the book--maybe it should have focused on him instead of everyone else. There was exactly one moment in the whole book where I felt connected emotionally to the story: page 155 where ***SPOILER*** (view spoiler) ***END SPOILER*** That was the only time that I cared about anyone in the whole book. And the only time that the book actually felt like an adventure. The good news: you can get published if you want to write a book badly enough.
